ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 9, 2017-11-04
Zane Gilford has lived a blessed life. The only son of the owner of The Gilford House Inn, he’s benefitted from his mother’s extraordinary success. But Vermont was never where he wanted to be, and the day after graduation, he put the quaint country inn and everything about it behind him and never looked back.

Until now.

The death of his mother left Zane a very wealthy man, but in her will she also left him a surprise. For an entire year, he must run that Vermont inn he’s hated all his life if he wants to get one red cent of his inheritance.

Becca Fox has worked her way to the top of the advertising business and has the personal and professional scars to prove it. In her rare time off, she loves visiting her favorite bed and breakfast in the mountains of Vermont. When she finds a new owner running The Gilford House Inn, she wonders if her favorite getaway place has been ruined for her. He’s sexy as all hell and incredibly good looking, but he’s so cocky and arrogant.

From the first moment he sees her, Zane knows he wants Becca, but to get a woman like her, he’s going to have to learn to be a better man than he’s ever been. He’s got an inn to run and a woman to win. Neither is going to be easy. And time isn’t in his favor.

REVIEW: HARD WORK by K. M. Scott is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic romance story line focusing on a second chance romance between thirty year old advertising executive and divorcee Becca Fox, and Vermont Inn owner Zane Gilford.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Becca and Zane) HARD WORK follows the rekindling romance between advertising executive Becca Fox, and Zane Gilford-a man whose California lifestyle is about to change. With the recent death of his mother, Zane Gilford would inherit everything she was and owned including her beloved Vermont Inn she christened The Gilford House Inn but a caveat and proviso was added to the will- a stipulation forces Zane to run the Inn successfully for one year or forfeit the entire fortune. Enter Becca Fox, a Manhattan advertising executive and the woman with whom Zane would fall in love, but a woman scorned by her previous relationships including the one with our story line hero. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Zane and Becca, and the on going fall out as Zane continues to prove that he has yet to grow up or take responsibility for his immature actions.

Years earlier Zane Gilford walked out of Becca’s life without a backwards glance leaving our heroine heartbroken and stunned as to the how and why. Fast forward to present day wherein Zane commissions Becca to help promote his mother’s Inn, a task that is meant to pull Becca back into his life….but Zane and Becca’s reintroduction is less than amicable as Becca witnesses the wrath of a man accustomed to getting his own way. Zane grew up the spoiled and only child of a wealthy business owner, and in the ensuing years has never learned to appreciate his mother’s ability to manage and love.

The relationship between Becca and Zane is one of second chances but Zane’s cringe-worthy, immature attitude, and emotional outbursts directed at staff fills our heroine with disgust and revulsion towards the man she once loved. As months pass, and their relationship is taken to a sexual level Zane will continue to destroy Becca’s faith in a possible future with our story line hero, with his over the top reactions, and the reappearance of a former love. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.  The use of a certain four-letter word that I have previously deemed repugnant and ill-used in a romance story line is unnecessary and undesirable.

We are introduced to Becca’s friend and PA Amy; as well as several employees at The Gilford House Inn who struggle to keep their new boss happy and pleased.

HARD WORK is an easy read (ala Beauty and the Beast) that skips weeks to months at a time where in the interim Becca and Zane’s relationship continues to grow. The premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are charismatic, colorful and energetic once you get past Zane’s adolescent behaviour and emotional outbursts. HARD WORK is a stand alone, erotic story line that calls to the romance lover in everyone.
